OVERVIEW

HISTORY

III.

The Philippine Commission Act No. 648 enacted in 1903 by the US Congress
is the very first formed legislation that formed the basis of the current system
of national parks and protected areas in the Philippines
In the next year, the Forest Act of 1904 (Act No. 1148) was established to
expand the scope of protected areas in the country
February 1, 1932, The National Parks Act No. 3195 was enacted that has
formally established national parks system in the Philippines
This bill was signed into law by President Corazon Aquino in 1992 as the
NIPAS Act or Republic Act 7586 which further enhanced the administration
and classification of protected areas, and broadened the mandate of
the Department of Environment and Natural resources in enforcing its
provisions.

GOAL

IV.

The Philippines is known for its high level of biodiversity


It is a home to 52,177 described species, half of which are endemic
Its floral biodiversity is composed of 10,000-14,000 species, more than half
are endemic while the faunal biodiversity is composed of 1,130 terrestrial
species, 49% of it are endemic
To conserve the environment and protect the countrys rich biodiversity,
efforts were made to ratify the constitution
To attain the goal of sustainable development, integrated protected areas
system was formulated

It primarily aims to secure for the Filipino people of present and future
generations the perpetual existence of all native plants and animals through
the establishment of a comprehensive system of integrated protected areas
within the classification of national park as provided for in the Constitution.

PURPOSE

V.

NIPAS Act

VI.

Scientific research
Wilderness protection
Preservation of species and genetic diversity
Maintenance of environmental services
Protection of specific natural and cultural features
Tourism and recreation
Education
Sustainable use of resources from natural ecosystems
Maintenance of cultural and traditional attributes

Covers all protected areas whether terrestrial, coastal, or marine


National integrated protected areas system refers to the classification and
administration of all designated protected areas
To maintain essential ecological processes and life-support systems
To preserve genetic diversity
To ensure sustainable use of resources found therein
To maintain their natural conditions to the greatest extent possible

CRITERIA IN DETERMINING APT CATEGORY OF A PROTECTED AREA

Strict nature reserve


Its primary purpose is to preserve biodiversity and as essential
reference areas for scientific work.
Natural park
Relatively large areas not materially altered by human activity.
Natural monument
Small areas focused on protection of small features to protect or
preserve nationally significant natural features because of its unique
characteristics.
Wildlife sanctuary
Assume the natural conditions necessary to protect nationally
significant species which requires specific human manipulations.

Protected landscapes and seascapes


Are characterized by the interaction of man and land while providing
public enjoyment.
Resource reserve

VII.

One of the most difficult area to access, focuses on protection at the


area for future use and prevent or contain development activities that
could affect the resource pending the establishment of objectives.
Natural biotic areas
Area set aside to allow the way of life of societies living in harmony
with the harmony with the environment to adapt to modern technology
at own.
Other categories established by law

BUFFER ZONES

These are the boundaries of and immediately adjacent to designated protected


areas.
Serve as social fence and source of income for local communities near the
protected areas in order to minimize harm to the Pas.

VIII. INDIGENOUS CULTURAL COMMUNITY

IX.

TENURED MIGRANT COMMUNITY

X.

It is a group of people living within the PAs five years before it was
designated as a PA.
They are solely dependent on the PA for their economic activities.

MANAGEMENT PLANS

XI.

ICCs that are dwelling in PAs since time immemorial are given the title for
ancestral domains.
They have the right to continue their cultural and spiritual practices inside the
Pas according to IPRA Law.

According to Sec. 9, management plans are devised as a planning strategy that


shall serve as a guideline for promoting the adoption and implementation of
innovative techniques necessary for governing each PA.

PROTECTED AREA MANAGEMENT BOARD

Responsible for making sure that the management plan is properly


implemented.
Has the power to make decisions except for granting of permits and settling of
fees.

XII.

INTEGRATED PROTECTED AREAS FUND

A trust fund which shall finance the projects under the integrated protected
areas system.
This fund comes from the fees and income generated from the operation of
Pas and from donations which are tax-exempt.
75% of the revenues must be used for the development of the PAs while the
remaining 25% shall go to the national fund which shall be used for the
maintenance of other PAs which are not generating enough money.

XIII. CONCLUSION

The NIPAS Act serves as legal basis to conserve biodiversity in the country in
pursuit of sustainable development through managing selected protected
areas.
It faces several problems especially when it comes to funding for the
development of PAs.
DENR looks at the possibility of decentralization of the management of the
PAs.
